[Trigger] Changing Weapon Type and Primary Attribute via triggers?

[Stangles]

Herro, thanks for taking time to read. First of all, I've tried searching for a solution but couldn't find one, sorry if there is.



PROBLEM #1:
I'm trying to make a hero whose Weapon Type changes (missile to normal and vice versa) depending on the unit it "possesses." Possession is done via a dummy spell based on forked lightning.

I have tried making two different attacks and toggling them with this trigger:

• Unit - Set Unit: (Casting unit)'s Weapon Boolean Field: Attacks Enabled ('uaen')at Index:0 to Value: True

...it works but the problem is, Attack 2, which is melee (normal) isn't displayed in the GUI in-game, presumably because it is being obfuscated by the hero's attributes (FigA):

Attack 1 which is ranged (missile) works appropriately (FigB):

So is there a way to fix this? Maybe I can use the original toggling system if there was a way to move the Attack 2 UI to assume to place of Attack 1?



PROBLEM #2:
Everytime the hero possesses a unit, he also changes Primary Attribute supposedly, but it doesn't work:

• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • Or - Any (Conditions) are true
      • Conditions
        • (Unit-type of (Target unit of ability being cast)) Equal to Footman
        • (Unit-type of (Target unit of ability being cast)) Equal to Grunt
  • Then - Actions
    • Hero - Modify Agility of (Casting unit): Add 1.
    • Unit - Set Unit: (Casting unit)'s Integer Field: Primary Attribute ('upra') to Value: 1
  • Else - Actions
    • Do nothing

APPENDIX:
Here's my full trigger set as it is now to discriminate. Maybe I screwed up somewhere.

Thanks for the time. Help is much appreciated.

As you wrote, in UI attack 2 is always to the right of Attack 1 so the hero attributes hide it (even though the hero can actively use attack 2).

You can now change attack type (e.g. normal, pierce, chaos, ...) for given weapon, however at the moment it seems you cannot change the weapon's weapon type (normal, missile, missile (splash), artillery, etc.), so even if you set missile art, missile speed, etc., if the weapon type is normal, the missile will not appear in game (target will just lose HP).

As for changing Hero's primary attribute, from my tests it seems to do nothing at all.
